At 3 mins 38 seconds I confused the horizontal with the vertical axis. Sorry about that!

What can we do to reduce the carbon footprint of air travel? In this video we look at battery powered planes, hydrogen powered ones, bio fuel, and synthetic kerosene.

Data about airplane emissions come from Our World in Data

The figure for the increase of airplane efficiency is from this report:

The figure for the energy per volume and energy per mass values for different fuels is from this paper:

Data for the cost of bio jet-fuel is here:
